I'm a bit of newbie to Wine in many respects so this may be obvious to more seasoned Wine veterans, in which case I apologize. I rely on Wine to run Lotus Notes on Linux - this project has released me from my NT workstation :-) So after a kernel upgrade from 2.2.17-21mdk (as supplied with Mandrake 7.2) to an unpatched 2.2.19 about the first thing I tried was Lotus Notes on Wine. Parts of it came up - I could get the simplistic welcome screen up, but any attempt to contact the mail server would blow up and the process would take 100%CPU for a while before dying. The symptoms were a Critical section time out, followed by an Unhandled exception code 0x00000005 error. This was with a precompiled Wine binary from December. After much hair pulling, swapping of DLLs and similar hijinx, I came across a message noting that Wine breaks if you upgrade to 2.4 and requires recompiling. In desperation I grabbed the latest source release and built the whole caboodle. Success! So to keep this tale short - if you upgrade to kernel 2.2.19, you may need to recompile WINE to fix any errant problems. And to the Wine hackers, this version seems to be even more solid than that December binary - I'm seriously impressed. Good work!

I am starting to gird up my loins to take on 2.4.2, and now I know can't do it one box at a time (one box compiles wine, the other uses wine to run my mail). I remember Alexandre (or maybe Ulrich) saying it wouldn't be hard to fix the compile-time/runtime kernel dependency, but I guess I don't remember that anyone actually did.
